Multi-step effects in subcoulomb breakup

Nuclear Theory 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Following earlier one-step calculations, we explore the contributions of multi-step effects for the breakup of low energy 8^8B on 58^{58}Ni and 208^{208}Pb within a coupled discretised continuum channels (CDCC) formalism. The Coulomb multi-step differential cross section is significantly reduced for all angles, the largest effect being the destructive interference of nuclear couplings. The nuclear peak, at around 8080^\circ in the one-step calculation for 58^{58}Ni, virtually disappears.
